The World With All Countries Over 50 Million People Removed – Brilliant Maps

The
map
above
shows
what
the
world
would
look
like
if
you
removed
all
countries
in
the
world
with
over
50
million
people.

The
remaining
countries
would
have
a
combined
population
of
just
1.8
billion,
a
decline
of
75%
from
the
over
8
billion
who
are
alive
today.

But
the
earth
would
only
lose
67,569,201
sq
km
(26,088,614
sq
miles)
of
land
or
around
45%
of
the
earth’s
total
land
area.

Spain
becomes
the
world’s
most
populous
country
with
49,077,984
people.
And
Canada
would
become
the
world’s
largest
country
by
area
and
7th
most
populous.

A
few
observations:

• There
  are
  now
  a
  lot
  more
  islands
  in
  the
  world
  some
  of
  favourites
  include:
  North
  Korea
  (although
  would
  be
  sort
  of
  strange
  to
  keep
  that
  name),
  Vatican,
  Mongolia,
  Nepal,
  Scotland,
  
  Iberia,
  Scandinavia
  and
  Canada.
• England
  is
  gone,
  but
  Northern
  Ireland,
  Wales
  and
  Scotland
  remain.
• Australia
  and
  New
  Zealand
  are
  completely
  unaffected.
• As
  are
  the
  countries
  in
  the
  Caribbean
• Asia
  and
  the
  Middle
  East
  are
  just
  a
  collection
  of
  disparate
  islands
• Europe
  has
  become
  an
  archipelago
• Africa
  has
  been
  split
  in
  3
• South
  America
  has
  been
  split
  in
  2
  and
  both
  bits
  are
  now
  separated
  from
  central
  America
• North
  America
  is
  now
  just
  Canada
  and
  Greenland.
